| Everything was perfect.. But my god... all the subs that are available are so bad... like.. wow... did they use google translate? |

| Not sure if Tokyo Ghoul ripped off of this or this ripped off of Tokyo Ghoul. I have nothing to complain about with the art style. I adore the soundtrack but the horrible translation is what ruined my experience with the first episode of this series. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| great episode. I'm normally allergic to CGI but this was really good. |

Ajin started about 6 months after Tokyo Ghoul, but I think it's more of a coincidence. At the beginning, they appear to be similar, but later on they are very different. I personally would associate it more with Parasyte than Tokyo Ghoul. |
| Very nice CGI I think. Somehow remind me to Sidonia and God Eater. Anyway,the protagonist surrounding by fear to other people. His childhood friend also really really cool and badass. Hmmm....yeah. I will give 7/10 for this first episode. |
ttcchen said: damn another good series ruined due to people's stupidity. only the op and ed is good guess the only good anime this season is Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi. AOTS material for sure now. I VERY Disagree with YOUR Opinion there. Never i have kept toness of shows after episode 1. I am currently at 20. |
 |
| pretty good animation for cg loved the intro scene and opening theme so far, great |
 |
| Forgetting the awful CG, that was a terrible as fuck episode anyways. It's essential Tokyo Ghoul with EDGY EDGY bs. Cuz edgy automatically means mature! Disgusting. Into the trash can it goes along with most of this season's Anime. |
 |
| How early is too fast in the narrative, all the steps are respected, but the pace is too exaggerated that leaves no time to reflect on the events. The 3DCG is not very good, but the setting is suited to situational context, while not convincing me, I want to continue watching this series. |
 |
| Interesting but i really don't like the animation |
| Was interesting. I got use to cgi pretty quick. Managed to find a good translation on youtube. |
| Quite enjoying it so far, a lack of characters I like may become an issue |
| i honestly cant believe many people said that animation isnt important/doesnt matter/who cares... like... why are you even watching stuff then? i mean, i think that what makes a good show (other than the characters, the ost, the plot etc) is also the animation. ajin could have had an AMAZING anime adaptation, if only they didnt decide to go full cgi. i wouldnt have cared either about the 3D if only the mob characters or the ajins were done in cg (like for fighting scenes and such), but adapting a manga like ajin in a FULL 3d anime is just... wrong. i dont know if the movie(s) have better animation, but the episode that aired on tv was pretty bad. some movements looked really stiff and the characters expressions... let them rip. i mean, if you like the cg its fine, everyone has their personal taste, but please dont say its the best 3d ever because its clearly not. can't complain about the voice actors tho because mamoru miyano always does an amazing job and i'm sure his portrait of kei will help me survive this series, same goes for hosoya yoshimasa and sakurai takahiro. the op isnt that bad, and same goes for the song of the ending but that ugly powerpoint slideshow... again, we could have had better things lol. i would give ajin a straight 5/5 because the manga is amazing and i really suggest everyone to read it, even the people who are sceptic and say that its a 'tokyo ghoul rip-off'. (trust me, it's much better than this.) sadly, the cg really kills me so for now its a 2/5. i'll watch it anyway tho because i want to see if they'll stay faithful to the manga or not. |
| Yaaay another crappy CGI anime that had some potential but butchered by the animation studio ~ (note to myself : Never watch anything from polygon pictures ever again) |
 |
| I don't know about anyone else, but what I watched the subs were terrible. Intense first episode and really interested to how the story is going to progress. The OP and soundtrack was great. Don't really know what to think of CGI being used but it'll hopefully grow on me. |
 |
| i cant say the 3d was horrible but the frame rate killing me i was sure i had laggs in my comp or something "that was near 20-15 fps in most of the scenes and that clearly isnt right! that was annoying like playing action game with low fps that just annoying... and ruin if only the fps rate was at 24-30 fps that would be much much better and less annoying overall the story was good but god how can you say that was good animation when it was so laggy? i mean ok you go full cg but common at least make it 30 fps can ya? |
| A decent episode, though the CG is... rather static to be honest ._. Sadly it's still rare to see traditional animation techniques being used in CG anime series and movies. OP was pretty good though. |
| CG was decent I guess, not horrible but it did give me kind of a creepy feeling, which seems pretty apt with an anime of this genre so I'll let it fly. The OST sounds AWESOME but I feel like there was a lack of dialogue? Maybe it was the cg or the bad subs to blame, but I felt like there was less speaking than usual. I have high hopes for this story though, and I can't wait to see what will happen! |
 |
| The art reminded me of Sidonia no Kishi a lot, in a good way. Tho, i will have to rewatch it, because the only available sub at the moment is worse than google translate. |
| I'm not a fan of the CGI in the series cause I'd prefer my characters to be more 2d and then 3d the black stuff. I'm just gonna watch it on the 2nd episode cause of the pace on the 1st ep is just too slow to my liking. |
 |
| I don't see the point of doing both a movie series and a TV series at the same time, maybe the TV series after the movie releases--it all just seems like a waste of time. But that's just my two cents. |
| Only a few times prior to this have I seen a show that tries so hard to be grimdark it's cringy. Second only to the laughably bad elfen lied is ajin filled with dead puppy flash backs (which elfen lied also had) a piano filled ost and supernatural powers so generic looking even owari no seraph would be scared to copy it. I'm sure edgelords all over the internet are turning on their caps lock buttons in preparation to hail this show as saving anime. Oh and the CGI was horrendous. |
 |
| A great debut, this plot certainly is very good, and I also enjoyed this first episode of the adaptation, the animation was a little different than I imagined, but I soon get used and the soundtrack was very good, I have high expectations about this anime, I expect to see a great adaptation .. |
  |
| Is he the only Ajin? I wonder if there are others like him? |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| I enjoyed watching the first episode but the CG was really rough. I know that anime as a whole is moving more and more towards having series done completely in CG but there's going to be some real growing pains along the way. |
Geravys said: The CGI is quite disapointing, a good 2D animation would have done a better job. Agree. The emotions is missing and lost the feeling of the moment. Maybe I'm going to read the manga, because de history is very interesting. |
| Very disappointed in the cg. 6/10 |
 |
| I really don't care about the animation, but the story... WoW i sense a great story, it reminds me of Death Note thinking, well the voice of the MC its the same of Yagami Light so ye... It creeps the shit out of me for just remembering that mind-fuck of Death Note, hope its the same! |

electricsundance said: Does anyone know when the proper subs will go out? On Netflix in 6 months. With dub as bonus. |
 |
| always have to ruin good source material with garbage cgi. |
 |
| Judging by the movie, it gets really interesting later on. I really love the opening, and the ending is very good as well. Definitely going to pick up the manga once it's over. |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| Why is everyone always complaining about cgi in anime? It looks good. Not only does it make facial animations better, it also allows the studio to create a better looking cinematic feel to the anime. As a film maker, I take notice at how the camera work is done. They can do more of those fancy camera works with cgi compared to "drawn" art. Anyways, great start to this anime. I'm ready for more episodes. Engaging story about what "Ajins" really are and seeing how far the friendship will go. |
| Stopped watching after 5 minutes, fuck the animation in this. |
| I think this one of the few times ive actually hated CGI in a anime. It looks quite awful here. Still, i'll watch it because its an interesting show thus far. |
 |
| After watching the first episode with no background in the story, i have to say the first episode is frustrating for me. I can live with the animation, but the world going on a man hunt for a kid that doesn't die? Its not like he isn't human in every other aspect other than that loud yell. I can understand tokyo ghoul/parasyte since they eat human flesh and have special powers. I'll give the next episode a chance to redeem the show for me. |
| Ajin same studio as Sidonia!? I'm IN!!! on the broadcast huge TV outside: "MACHINAKAVISION" = Machinima Activision ??? 5/5! |

| What is Kaneki and Hide doing here? So every Ajin got a Stand with them, I wonder what they can be use for. |

 |
| It was a letdown that this was the same as the movie....... I'm hoping the movie didn't cover more episodes or I won't be hyped for it each week. The OP was good though. |
| That was a pretty thrilling first episode. But damn, I don't think I can watch every anime with full CGI like that. This one's bearable though, not bad. This show has some pretty nice music. |
  |
| Fuck it, I'll just read the manga. |
| i very looking forward for this anime, but i cant not watch this at all since the CGI is messed up and i do not like it one bit. sadly cuz of that i wont watch this no more. I have seen other anime that has this CGI work and will not watch at all :( To much disappointed. |
